Lulu's Little Dragon

Reach for this book when your child is begging for a pet or struggling with the reality that fun things also require work. It is an ideal bridge for the transition from preschool play to early elementary responsibility. The story follows Lulu as she discovers that owning a magical dragon is not just about flying and games: it is about feeding, cleaning, and understanding a friend's unique needs. While the setting is fantastical, the emotional core is deeply grounded in the concept of stewardship. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's desire for independence while gently modeling the patience required for genuine friendship. It is a sweet, vibrantly illustrated tool for discussing the commitment behind the 'big kid' milestones your child is currently chasing.
